In the dimly lit hall, the golden armor shone with a light as dazzling as the sun.
The nun's pupils dilated slightly.
" Renix..."
Ralfa silently murmured the name with delight in his heart.
The newcomer was none other than Renix, a member of the Emperor's Imperial Adeptus Custodes.
A member of the Adeptus Custodes.
Standing three meters tall, with an upright posture, he resembles an unshakeable mountain.
She and Ralfa were one of the most famous duos in the Imperium, known as the " Talons of the Emperor."
Renix possesses the most advanced physical skills and technological equipment in the Imperium of Man, enabling him to directly destroy any tangible enemy.
The Ralfa is Psychic Power black hole, capable of suppressing all wizards and demons.
They've been partners for decades, carrying out countless life-or-death missions together, and have never failed.
Just a few years ago, they were ordered to escort the Black Ship to various places to collect "fuel" for the Master of Mankind.
During their Warp voyage six months ago, they encountered a warband of Chaos Space Marine.
To protect the Psyker on the Black Ship, Renix fought a Chaos Lord to the death. Although he eventually drove the Lord away, he was also seriously injured.
After that, she remained in the best medical hibernation pod on the Gemstone.
Ralfa had initially thought that Renix would not wake up for several more months.
Unexpectedly, she woke up at this most critical moment.
Are you alright?
Renix asked Ralfa using the gestures characteristic of the Sisters of Silence.
His gaze was calm and steady, carrying a reassuring power.
Unlike her usual cold gestures, this time, her gestures carried a subtle hint of concern.
Ralfa shook his head and replied with a gesture: [I'm fine, be careful, this Orks is no ordinary person.]
Renix nodded, indicating that he understood.
She turned around and looked at Ragnar, who was standing not far away.
Beneath the golden helmet, her gaze was piercing.
Ragnar frowned and looked Renix up and down.
"Another shrimp dressed in weird clothes has arrived."
"This one's gold again."
I want to eat corn...
He didn't pay any attention to the suddenly appearing "golden corn" at all; he just suddenly felt a bit craving corn.
In his view, he is now invincible.
No one can defeat him.
"Get out of here!"
Ragnar roared and charged toward Renix.
He held nothing back, throwing a punch straight at Renix ' head.
This punch, accompanied by a whistling sound, was enough to crush a Terminator.
Renix remained unfazed.
She suddenly raised her left arm.
The shoulder armor on his left arm met Ragnar's fist head-on.
"Clang!!!"
A deafening metallic clang rang out.
A powerful shockwave spread in all directions.
The expensive crystal chandelier on the hall ceiling was shattered, and a shimmering rain began to fall.
The pebbles and dust on the ground were blown into the air.
Ragnar felt as if his fist had struck a mountain of steel.
A tremendous force of recoil came from his fist, making his arm go numb.
This was the first time he encountered this after his transformation.
"Um?"
A look of surprise appeared on Ragnar's face.
He looked down at his fist.
A shallow crack had appeared on the metal gauntlet.
Renix was also thrown back several meters by the immense force of the punch.
A clear fist mark was left on the shoulder armor of her left arm.
However, the material used in the Auramite Armour is far harder than Ceramite, and it was not penetrated.
Renix's expression turned extremely serious.
She was the Emperor's imperial Adeptus Custodes.
They are beings who stand at the pinnacle of individual combat power within the entire Imperium of Man.
Unlike Space Marine, who can be mass-produced using Primarch genes, the Adeptus Custodes are truly unique.
Their genes come directly from the great Emperor himself.
Every member of the Adeptus Custodes is a genius selected from among thousands, having undergone the most brutal training and the most perfect genetic modification.
That was gene editing from the Emperor himself; they were perfect creations!
She once single-handedly defeated the champion of Chaos.
He once tore apart Tyranids behemoth with his bare hands.
But that punch just now actually gave her a feeling of being "unbeatable".
The Orks in front of her was far more powerful than she had imagined.
"That's interesting."
Renix ' voice remained calm.
With a flick of her right hand, she drew the Guardian Spear from her back.
This spear was the standard weapon of the Adeptus Custodes.
The spearhead was crafted from pure Adamantium, gleaming with a cold, icy light.
The spearhead contains a built-in double-barreled Boltgun that fires standard ammunition, but the projectiles are made of Adamantium, making them far more powerful than conventional Boltgun.
"Now, it's my turn."
Renix accelerated forward, charging towards Ragnar.
She was faster than Ralfa.
Only a golden silhouette remained in place.
"Take this spear!"
With a roar, Renix wielded his Guardian Spear like a golden Lightning, aiming for Ragnar's heart.
At the same time, the double-barreled Boltgun built into the spearhead fired simultaneously.
Two Adamantium bombs followed, aimed at Ragnar's head.
Ragnar dared not be careless.
He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the spear's thrust.
At the same time, he raised his arm and shielded his face.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two armor-piercing rounds struck Ragnar's arm.
The bullet embedded itself deeply in his muscle, but it didn't penetrate completely.
Ragnar, in pain, roared and threw a punch at Renix ' head.
Renix was prepared.
She ducked sharply, dodging Ragnar's punch.
At the same time, she swept her spear horizontally towards Ragnar's legs.
Ragnar leaped into the air, dodging the sweeping attack.
He spun in mid-air and stomped on Renix ' head.
Renix leaped backward, creating distance.
The two exchanged blows and began to fight.
Golden spears and green fists clashed repeatedly.
Mars flew everywhere, and the roar was deafening.
The entire hall trembled with the sound of their battle.
However, whether in terms of speed or power, Renix was still a step behind Ragnar.
They could only barely manage to hold their own based on their years of accumulated combat experience.
Just then...
Ralfa also regained some of his strength.
She struggled to her feet, drew her power sword, and rejoined the battle.
" Talons of the Emperor," fighting side by side once again.
They've been partners for decades.
The tacit understanding between them has become ingrained in their very bones.
No words are needed; a glance or a gesture is enough to know what the other person wants to do.
Renix was responsible for direct confrontation, using her immense strength and superb martial arts skills to restrain Ragnar.
Meanwhile, Ralfa flanked the enemy, constantly searching for Ragnar's weaknesses to launch deadly sneak attacks.
Although their individual abilities were far inferior to those of Ragnar.
But their teamwork was flawless.
One attack, one defense; one conventional, one unconventional.
They gradually stabilized the situation and fought back and forth with Ragnar.
Ragnar grew increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed.
He clearly possesses overwhelming strength and speed.
But there's just no quick way to deal with these two women.
They were like two slippery eels, always managing to dodge his attacks at just the right moment.
Moreover, their attacks are extremely cunning, always managing to strike him when he is at his most vulnerable.
While it couldn't inflict fatal damage on him, it did keep him busy and on the run.
"Damn it, aren't you two annoying?!"
Ragnar roared and suddenly unleashed all his power.
A green wave of energy erupted from his body.
Renix and Ralfa were both thrown back by the blast wave.
Ragnar seized the opportunity and stopped bothering them.
He turned abruptly and rushed toward the bridge gate at the end of the hall.
His target was never these two women.
It was Dominic.
The war will be over once Dominic is killed.
Stop him! Don't let him go to the bridge!
Ralfa's expression changed drastically, and he immediately used gestures to express himself.
Renix immediately gave chase.
But Ragnar was too fast.
He rushed to the bridge gate in a few steps.
He raised his fist, ready to smash open the bridge door.
Once he opens this door, he will see that proud shrimp nobleman.
